Coloured Watering Cans: Best Picks & Where to Buy Them!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so yesterday I got this wild idea to paint my boring old watering cans. You know, spice things up a bit in the garden. I’ve got a few metal ones and a couple of plastic ones, all different sizes. Thought it would be a fun little project.

Prepping the Cans

First things first, I gathered all the watering cans. I laid down some old newspapers on my workbench in the garage – didn’t want paint splatters everywhere. Then, I grabbed a bucket of soapy water and a scrub brush and gave all the cans a good cleaning. Gotta get rid of all the dirt and grime, right? The metal ones had a bit of rust, so I used some steel wool to scrub that off. It took a bit of elbow grease, but I managed to get them pretty clean.

Choosing the Colors

This was the fun part! I had a bunch of leftover spray paint cans in the garage, all sorts of colors. I decided to go for a bright, cheerful look. I picked out a sunny yellow, a vibrant blue, a fiery red, and a grassy green. I also had some white paint, which I figured I could use for some details.

Painting Time!

I started with the metal cans. I shook the spray paint cans really well – you gotta do that, or the paint comes out all spluttery. Then, I sprayed a thin, even coat on each can. It’s better to do multiple thin coats than one thick one, otherwise, you get drips. And nobody wants drips! I let the first coat dry completely, which took about an hour. Then I applied a second coat. For the plastic cans, I used special plastic primer first, this helps paints stick on plastic surface and not easy to peel off.

Adding Some Details

Once the base coats were dry, I got a little creative. I used some painter’s tape to make stripes on one of the cans. On another, I tried to paint some simple flower designs with a small brush. I’m no artist, so they weren’t perfect, but they looked pretty cute! I even used a white paint pen to add some polka dots to one of the smaller cans.

The Final Result

After everything was dry, I removed the painter’s tape and stood back to admire my work. They looked so much better! All bright and colorful, ready to water my plants in style. It was a super simple project, but it made a big difference. Now my watering cans are not just functional, they’re also a fun part of my garden decor. And the best part? I did it all myself!
